⁴ tn Or “do not lose heart.”

⁵ tn Grk “our outer man.”

⁶ tn Grk “our inner [man].”

⁹ tn Grk “according to the measure of the rule which God has apportioned to us as a measure”; for the translation used in the text see L&N 37.100.

¹⁰ tn Grk “who.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

¹³ tn Or “unless indeed you are disqualified.”
